The paper develops SpikeSeq, a targeted sequencing method for the SARS-CoV-2 S-gene, showing high conservation and accuracy across variants.

The paper identifies a novel SARS-CoV-2 Delta-Omicron recombinant virus in the United States with a hybrid Spike protein.

The paper describes using field-derived nanopore sequencing to identify a novel swine influenza A virus that posed a pandemic risk, leading to the development of a vaccine candidate and real-time public health response.

The paper demonstrates direct RNA sequencing of the complete influenza A virus genome using a nanopore adapter, achieving 100% nucleotide coverage and high consensus identity.

This study investigates the association between copy number variants on chromosome 21 and congenital heart defects in Down syndrome, finding no direct link but suggesting ethnic differences in CNV patterns.
